Senior Researcher in Electoral Politics
4 days ago
Aarhus University is a world-class research institution that offers an attractive workplace for talented researchers. The Department of Political Science invites applications for a postdoctoral position to join a new research project on party leader explanations for electoral defeat.
About the Project
The project aims to explore how party leaders communicate with their partisans and the public when their party experiences electoral defeat. We will analyze party leader explanations across time and countries, develop a typology of electoral defeat-explanations, and examine the consequences of using various explanations for party leader support and democracy. The project focuses on understanding political communication of election results and its impact on trust in democracy.
Key Responsibilities
The successful applicant will be part of a vibrant and supportive research team with an informal atmosphere. Key responsibilities include collecting and coding party leader explanations, developing a typology of electoral defeat-explanations, and analyzing the data using qualitative and quantitative methods. The postdoc will also be expected to participate in project meetings, engage in collaborative research, and contribute to the broader research environment at the Department of Political Science.
Required Qualifications
Candidates must hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in Political Science or another field of relevance to the project. In addition to this, the applicant should have experience with quantitative content analysis, analyzing cross-national datasets, and designing and administering surveys and experiments. An interest in understanding political communication of election results and conducting collaborative research is essential. Excellent command of spoken and written English is also required.
Benefits
The project offers funding for conferences, additional training, and good opportunities for developing a strong academic network. The Department of Political Science is one of the six departments at Aarhus BSS, one of the five faculties at Aarhus University. The department is among the largest and strongest political science departments in Europe, with particular strengths in the areas of political behavior, political psychology, and political philosophy.
Working Environment
Aarhus University is an academically diverse and research-intensive university with a strong commitment to high-quality research and education and the development of society nationally and globally. The university offers an inspiring research and teaching environment to its 38,000 students and 8,300 employees, and has an annual revenues of EUR 935 million.
